"The person Iron Tower was looking for was you?" Lu Sheng guessed with a frown.
"I don't know," the woman replied casually. She scratched her long hair with her free hand, and stuffed it into her pocket.
"I'll close it if you don't come in, okay?" She released her index finger from the open button.
"Close it," Lu Sheng's tone was cold.
The elevator door slowly closed.
The woman leaned against the metal panel. She seemed to be resting with her head raised.
Through the gap in the elevator door, Lu Sheng could faintly see a dark golden ring flickering on her finger. It seemed to be a core ring that controlled armors.
This ring could control armors and keep them close to the user. Usually, only people with Authenticated Armors would wear them.
It was obvious that this woman was carrying a real set of armor with her.
He wanted to enter the elevator just now, but just as he was about to take a step, he smelled a faint scent of blood. It was very similar to the scent of blood on the rooftop.
Moreover, this woman was also giving off a faint sense of unusualness and danger.
'As expected, this world is a little dangerous.' As he stood outside the elevator, Lu Sheng made up his mind. He had to get his own Authenticated Armor as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to protect himself. He did not want to be forced out of his true form after only arriving for a short while, and then be forcefully sent back by the laws of the world.
'I'll increase my Harmonizing Power to the limit tonight, then find a way to earn money and buy my own armor.'
Whether it was Tie Ta or the one-eyed woman, their Harmonizing Power seemed to be stronger than his. Tie Ta was only slightly stronger, but the woman was much stronger than him.
Most importantly, without a Authenticated Armor, he could only fight with his body. It was not worth it.
After waiting for a while in front of the elevator, Lu Sheng turned and went down the stairs.
When he returned to his dormitory, he heard Iron Tower entering the door just as he closed the door.
The heavy slam of the door clearly showed Iron Tower's anger.
Lu Sheng took off his jacket and went into the bathroom to take a shower. He changed his clothes, then lay down on his bed and relaxed his body.
"Deep Blue."
A light blue frame appeared and hung before his eyes.
Lu Sheng pressed the modify button with practiced ease.
"Upgrade Iron Man's Three Gears."
Immediately, the square frame flashed and blurred.
After a few days of adjustment, Lu Sheng's Weapon Grandmaster spirit had mended the various hidden injuries in this body. His Yang Essence, which had some healing abilities, had also mended the various shortcomings of his body.
His body was no longer as weak as it was four days ago.
After several days of training, he had already forged an incomparably strong foundation for this body.
The reason why Lu Sheng had delayed his advancement for the past few days was because his foundation was not solid enough.
Although his Harmonizing Power could be raised to a very high level in an extremely short amount of time, this was not in line with his original plan.
What he wanted wasn't such a simple and crude upgrade. Instead, it was a steady and steady process, one footprint at a time.
His Harmonizing Power quickly jumped from Medium Level Three to Medium Level Four. Iron Man's Three Gears also rose to Second Gear Level Four.
Lu Sheng sensed that he did not feel any burden on his body this time. It was obvious that Jorin's physique was too weak, causing him to be a burden.
However, although it felt extremely easy, he still chose to advance level by level in case his body could not adapt if he advanced too quickly.
In reality, he could choose to advance by two or three levels at once. However, Lu Sheng preferred to play it safe because he preferred to play it safe.
'I can't be too hasty. I'll take it step by step.' Lu Sheng stared at the square frame that was blurring again.
Soon, the square frame became clear again.
"Iron Man's Three Gears, Second Gear Level Five." His Armor Harmonizing Power had also risen to Medium Level Five.
Then, he broke through easily and reached Third Gear Level One. His Harmonizing Power had also risen to Superior Level One.
Entering the excellent class was the limit that all elites could reach. In normal tests, all Harmonizing Power that had reached Superior Level was known as the limit of the human body.
With this alone, Lu Sheng had surpassed 99% of the students in the academy. His Harmonizing Power had reached an extremely high standard.
The female student he met in the elevator earlier probably only had Superior Level One Harmonizing Power.
Superior Level One and Level Two were the limit of the human body. The subsequent levels from Level Three to Level Five were basically only possible in theory.
However, with his Harmonizing Power at this level, it was enough. No matter how powerful he was, how high his Harmonizing Power was, and how much thicker he could carry, there was a limit to his strength. He could not carry too much weight. Hence, Superior Level One was the most reasonable level for the price-performance curve.
Lu Sheng sensed his current condition. His body had never been better. He was full of energy, and his strength was improving steadily as well.
'Looks like my body's adapting well. Let's continue.'
"Iron Man's Three Gears, Third Gear, Level Two.
"Iron Man's Three Gears, Third Gear, Level Three.
"Iron Man's Three Gears, Third Gear, Level Four."
…
…
…
"Iron Man's Three Gears, 1,326 Gear, Level Two."
"Iron Man's Three Gears, 1,326 Gear, Level Three."
Lu Sheng lay on his bed. He sensed that his Harmonizing Power had expanded to almost 1,000 meters.
'This should be enough.' He slowly stopped pouring in his Harmonizing Power. Towards the end, he basically derived and strengthened it according to the Iron Man's Three Gears method. He spent 1,000 Mental Energy units, and the results he obtained were not bad.
However, the increase in his Harmonizing Power only increased his ability to control and sense the armor around him in fine detail. There were no other qualitative changes. This caused Lu Sheng's expectations to be slightly disappointed.
'Now, it's time to look for an armor that suits me.' He rose from his bed and looked at the sky outside.
The powerful range of his Harmonizing Power allowed him to be extremely sensitive to the movements within 1,000 meters around him. He could hear the chirping of insects, the sound of the wind, the breathing of students as they slept, the sound of their bodies turning over, the flow of water in the pipes, and even the sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings in the distant sky.
'This Harmonizing Power is slightly similar to pure sensing power. However, compared to sensing power, it increases the speed of one's reflexes. It can make one's movements more agile.
'In that case, I'll have to think of a way to get a good Authenticated Armor.' Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on his bed. The inconceivably vast Harmonizing Power was like invisible tentacles. With him as the center, it slowly swam and rippled in an area of 1,000 meters around him.
Every movement within this area was reflected in his mind.
After lying on his back for a while, his expression suddenly changed slightly. He turned over and got out of bed quietly.
With his martial arts foundation, it was extremely easy for him to make this move. However, it gave off the impression that his posture was slightly uncoordinated.
'This body can't keep up with the control of my consciousness. Or perhaps the training time is too short. I'll have to look for two pure combat cultivation methods to train. '
Lu Sheng quickly rummaged through his memories. Very quickly, he found a combat cultivation method that was most suitable for him at the moment.
'Thousand and Eight Forms of Plum Snapping Hand'.
He had once plundered this pure external skill from the Crimson Whale Sect's martial library and memorized it.
However, because it was a purely skill-based skill formula, and a pure external skill at that, Lu Sheng was not fond of it. Hence, he absorbed and memorized it purely as a way to expand his martial arts knowledge.
However, he did not expect it to be of use at a time like this.
With a thought, Lu Sheng immediately saw a new frame appear on Deep Blue's interface.
'Thousand and Eight Forms of Plum Snapping Hand, Uninitiated (Total of five levels).'
'With my current physique, I should be able to master it in one go.' Lu Sheng pondered for a moment. Then, he stared at this external skill's frame.
'Increase Thousand and Eight Forms of Plum Snapping Hand by five levels.'
The frame blurred. After a few seconds, it swiftly cleared up again. This process was repeated five times.
Lu Sheng felt two units of Mental Energy vanish from his body. They melted into this body.
Then, his hands, shoulders, chest, back, and his entire upper body began to heat up slightly. The temperature grew higher and higher.
He quickly channeled his Yang Essence into these parts to heal the parts that were damaged by the rapid increase in strength.
This feeling lasted for more than ten minutes before it slowly stopped.
With the help of the light in the room, Lu Sheng raised his hands and tore off a thin layer of translucent leather.
After shedding the skin, his hands were as clear as jade. They were slender and beautiful. His muscles were not visible at all. They were much more perfect than a woman's hands.
'Not bad.' Lu Sheng clenched his fists in satisfaction. He felt that his upper body could now keep up with the usage of his Harmonizing Power.
He stood up and quickly put on his jacket. Then, he pushed the door open and walked out.
It was late at night. The corridor of the dormitory was empty. The air was cold, and there was a faint gust of cold wind.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes. His Harmonizing Power quickly located his target's location. Then, he walked down the stairs.
He entered the elevator and avoided the surveillance cameras. He walked out of the dormitory building through a blind spot.
The cold wind outside the building was bone-chilling. The shadows of the trees swayed in the wind.
He walked along the shadows between the buildings. Through the senses of his Harmonizing Power, he could hear the crackling of electricity from the surveillance cameras. Lu Sheng easily avoided all the surveillance cameras.
He, who had improved his Harmonizing Power to an unimaginable level, could now be called a monster in this world.
He walked past the dormitory area and the cafeteria area. Soon, he saw a middle-aged man with short white hair standing beside the wire netting. The man was looking through the holes in the netting.
A brown-haired girl knelt by the man's feet. The girl was clutching her abdomen, and blood was gushing out of her mouth.
The two of them seemed to be talking to each other. However, they were mostly speaking in a local dialect. Lu Sheng could not understand what they were saying.
Lu Sheng stood in the shadows at the side. He watched quietly as the girl struggled to say her last few words. Then, she gradually turned cold and lost all signs of life.
The white-haired man turned his head to look at the girl. He did not move for a long time.
This was his eldest daughter. She was also the pitiful girl who swore to kill him. Among his fifty children, this eldest daughter was the one he had the highest hopes for. Unfortunately, she disappointed him in the end.
"You've lost to love and friendship. In a mere three years, you've fallen to such a state. How pitiful … "He reached out and stroked his eldest daughter's long hair.
"You've forgotten that feelings are the greatest obstacle for us clansmen. With feelings, your blade is no longer as sharp as before … "
As the third-ranked member of the Bai Family, a family of assassins, and the world's top Starlight Assassin. When White Lion discovered that his eldest daughter had fallen in love, he resolutely decided to carry out the family's execution.
"Assassins shouldn't have love … We've sacrificed everything in exchange for ultimate skills. Only then … will we not be completely devoured by the eternal darkness … "A deep sorrow flashed in White Lion's eyes.
